A Desperate Situation - The Menacing Orochi Oniwabanshu

Most of the Big Mom Pirates weather King's assault intact, but they are cut off from Big Mom herself, who is sinking toward the seabed. In the palace, Komurasaki finishes her shamisen piece as the Orochi Oniwabanshu corner Robin, offering a swift, painless end if she confesses her purpose. Robin tries to talk her way out, but the ninjas catch the lie and attack, snaring her with a grappling hook and rope while another flings shuriken.

The Robin they strike crumbles apart, revealed as a clone formed by her Devil Fruit. The genuine Robin, safely outside, contacts Nami and Shinobu, who resolve to pursue Fukurokuju, then cuts the link to keep her geisha cover while tending a drunk guest. Brook leaves his body to guard her as the ninjas disperse, reluctant to spoil Orochi's party. On the Kuri shore, Chopper trains with Tama and Momonosuke drills his swordplay, all of them worried over Raizo, who infiltrated Udon and has gone silent. Climbing a bamboo stalk, Chopper notices a huge shape in the distance. Back at the banquet, Robin pours Orochi a drink and coaxes out details of the Fire Festival: a grand feast where the country's top officials and the Beasts Pirates will gather. Brook is then spotted drifting the halls and startles the ninjas, who take him for a ghost, before they sweep the mansion, jabbing the ceiling and frightening Nami and Shinobu in the attic. Chopper and the others reach the distant object and recoil to find the unconscious Big Mom, who wakes with no memory of who or where she is.

Anime additions include a dream in which Big Mom drains Luffy's lifespan, Toko serving drinks during Komurasaki's performance, Chopper and Tama playing ninja before heading to Kuri Beach, and Robin taking a mask from a drunk man before rejoining the party. Brook is shown running into Fujin and Raijin, and extra footage covers the Oniwabanshu's search, with Daikoku nearly uncovering Shinobu and Nami. Robin's confrontation with the ninja corps and her conversation with Orochi are both lengthened. The episode debuts Inukai.
